“As soon as I arrived driving the where expecting me on the garage, gave a very very warm welcome with some nice tea in a room with a beautiful fireplace, they upgraded me to the honey moon suite!!! (since it was my honey moon), what else can I say, looks like a place frozen in time we felt in the 1800´s, the owners have looked into every detail to make you feel really at home, in the morning they even washed our rental car without even asking this is the best hospitality I've received in a very long time.

“Where do I begin? The Old Thatch Lodge was exceptional!
Karin is an amazing host with extensive knowledge of the area. We were welcomed with a huge smile and beautiful gentle dogs.
We were shown around the little piece of heaven which is tastefully decorated and we were so delighted to be given a bigger room than what we originally booked for.
Breakfast was a great start to the day with everything you can imagine - toast, banana bread, eggs, cereals, fruit, tea, coffee, juice and a lovely glass of champagne. Felt like we were at some 5 star hotel with the level of attention put into everything.
Our stay was super comfortable, we got to light the fire in the communal lounge while we sipped on our tea just relaxing at the end of the day.
This is a home I can't wait to visit again.”
